Hitlerland: American Eyewitnesses to the Nazi Rise to Power

Andrew Nagorski. A contextually rich look at the buildup of Nazi power, revealing the feebleness of Americans' assessment of the future danger. In these seemingly casual impressions recorded in newspapers, letters, magazines, diaries and diplomatic reports, many Americans rooted in interwar Germany failed to see the menace in the increasingly inflammatory Nazi rhetoric, as Nagorski depicts in this well-marshaled study. An engrossing study of the times made more fascinating and incredible in retrospect.--Kirkus (Check Catalog)
